Miranda v. Arizona, 384 U.S. 436 (1966), was a landmark decision by the Warren Court requiring the police to warn suspects of their rights before conducting custodial interrogations. These warnings, known as the "Miranda warnings," include:

the right to remain silent
the right to have an attorney presented
the right to have an attorney appointed if desired
the right to know that anything said can and will be used against the accused

Conservatives objected strenuously to this decision, which freed many criminals who had not received these warnings.[Citation Needed]
